<P>
Convenience class providing clone(), toString(), equals() and hashCode() functionality for Java Beans.
<p>
It works on all read/write properties, recursively.
<p>
It uses the CloneableBean, EqualsBean and ToStringBean classes in a delegation pattern.
<p>
<h3>ObjectBean programming conventions</h3>
<P>
All ObjectBean subclasses having properties that return collections they should never
return null if the property has been set to <b>null</b> or if a collection has not been set.
They should create and return an empty collection, this empty collection instance should
also be set to the corresponding property.
<P>
All ObjectBean subclasses properties should be live references.

<DD>Constructor.
<p>
The property names in the ignoreProperties Set will not be copied into
the cloned instance. This is useful for cases where the Bean has convenience
properties (properties that are actually references to other properties or
properties of properties). For example SyndFeed and SyndEntry beans have
convenience properties, publishedDate, author, copyright and categories all
of them mapped to properties in the DC Module.
